Time for Peace

There were no limits to my cause

lived my life in abundance

searching for the unsearcchable

living limitlessly

against the tide of war

no amount of the tide was suffice

giving the world

what can't rot or rust

being like the river

that flows from beginning

to edge of the sea

of war

finding war caused me

grief and sadness like

the lost sheep unfound

hostility was at my door

as we toiled against at

the fringe of our lives

never assuming the impossible

it was a privation of our efforts

being uncontrollable in our

feeble hands, a beggar without

begging for expectation.

There was no love in our hearts

war surfaced in our courtyard

against the embankments of our

expectations, renewed our

commitments to hunt for sweat

as part of our punishment

as criminals overwhelmed us

with their eternal wickedness

our lives were a combination of

love and hate, through the

struggle of our lives, it was a war

 of love against hate, it was a

battle to establish love and to

renounce hate in all its guise.

It was a foundation of love fighting

for a formulation of truth.
